Slushy XL - Unicorn Dust
450 North Brewing Company

Pours the color of pulpy apricot nectar juice . The nose has mildly sour fruit notes. The flavor profile has the taste of fresh apricots and pears upfront.

This offering is mildly sour but refreshing as all get out.

I'm not quite convinced that this is beer. But, it certainly makes for an excellent good morning drink.

 

 

 

So fuckin thick, pouring like dark orange carrot puree, a moderate, pastel yellow foam head slowly builds and actually retains rather well, leaving sticky pulp all over the glass as it recedes. So conflicted on how to rate the appearance of stuff like this. It's both appealing, in a gluttonously extravagant sort of way, while also totally off-style for a plain Berliner, which this isn't trying to be.

This might be a bit of an association with the color, but the taste actually gives off a bit of a carrot character within the mango. It's ultra fresh, herbal and juicy, yet almost a bit savory and not super sweet or tangy as expected, while also not even a little sour. The herbal apricot dominates, however, and it's super refreshing, while dichotomously feeling damn near like ice cream.

The smooth, thick round feel has a juicy, lightly prickly carbonation before the semi-dry finish continues to suggest they're on some kind of magician shit.
